MONDAY, APRIL 6, 1936. _ Golden Margaret CWiddemer SYNOPSIS: Miss Ella Lanning ts usually a very mouselike woman, except ‘an defense of her dead broth- er'a memory. He was, she believes, @ genius as well ou @ painter, and she has sacrificed her ‘off her tg iaedy William, and her niece, Iris Lan- ning, to his memory. Morgan Black, who boards at the once-distin- guished Lanning house, is not only in love with Iris—he has promised to find Iris’ brother Owen, whom Tris believed dead until recently. Miss Ella is not sympathetic; Uncle William is. Chapter Nine PARTY ie Iris wiped off the big wooden kitchen table with the wrung- out dishcloth, and rinsed it under the faucet, she asked Miss Ella, hanging up the rinsed dish towels at the other end of the long room, one sudden question. “Didn't any of you try to get my brother Owen back?” And Miss Ella answered as mat- ter-of-factly, standing on tiptoe to stretch the damp towels along the rack. “After I took you out of the baby tarriage in front of the boarding house where the Ross girls were, your mother came down to try to get you again. But your fa‘* -r had the law on his side, and they had no money to fight. They were just two ordinary little dressmake: s who had settled here, and entrapped my brothers!” Iris crossed the room, her eyes blazing. “You're talking about my mother. 1 don’t care what she did, she was a@ good, kind, lovely woman. I re- member enough of her for that.” “All right, child. Perhaps 1 shouldn’t have said it,” said Miss Ella. Iris stared at her. This was so un- like her aunt! When she followed it up with her old suggestion that Iris might be able to make something to wear to Katherine Oliver's out of her own only best dress, Iris breathed again. That was more norinal. She refused the offer, mechani- cally. Katherine Oliver and her teas, which had loomed so important, seemed to matter little now. She met Morgan in the hall. “I've found out all about it that he knows,” he said. “Be kind to him. It was—oh, well, your Aunt Ella had a brother-complex, and smashed four lives on the strength of it, that’s all. That's how I figure it out.” “And now what?” Iris said eager- ly. She knew li 'e a»out complexes. “Now I'm going to put things in motion. But don’t hope too muclf, child!” “Oh, you're so good to me!” But she spoke as she might have to an uncle, or to a brother. He was stung into answering with some of his old bitterness. “Don’t blame me if you're sorry. You're in a place where there's peace and beauty and honesty and love, and if you had any sense you'd want to stay here and not investi- gate.” “You aren’t fair.” “I suppose not. It’s hard to be fair.” ‘HE months went on; the sum- mer drifted by. Uncle Will still was not very well. “He’s nave. been the same since the accident,” Miss E'la said, trying to spare him, Morgan noticed, in everything that meant waiting on, but not at al! as regards suggesting that he do less work. Saving for the deed brother’s memo ‘al came first with her. Morgan stood by. He had sever known what it was to be needed be- fore. He was an unoffici.' partner in the old man’s law practice, and the genealogical work that meant extras. More and more *e became @ part of the household, petted fiercely by Misr Ella, leaned on by Uncle Will, Iris’s comrade and friend. He had not told Iris that he loved her, He would win her, first. And he would be sure that she was as dis- Interested, as crystalline, as she seemed. A little of his old bitter ness remained. Iris was restless at first. She would come to him every day or so and say, “No news about Owen?” But by degrees they both lost hope. The detectives he had hired worked faithfully, but they had no results to report. Presently, he thought, Iris stopped thinking about it. She went on, busy like the rest. She did her exquisite Dlace-cards and her perfect embro!- dery for sale. She went on giving her French and singing lessons to the little sisters of her acquaint- auces. And —to Morgan's suppressed ain anger—what she made went as it always had into Miss Ella’s hands | for the memorial fuud; she wore her shabby dresses, made over :rom old things in the attic, or years old; she had nothing for pleasures. And she was gayer, happier than Mor gan had thought anyone could be. He took her to movies occasion- ally—not too often, she would not let him. They went for long walks. | He would have been caught up in the tide of small-town life himself, the parties that went on steadily, including Iris on their edge, if he had permitted it. But ue would not, more than once in « loug while. “You know, you put your worst foot foremost. When 1 met you | thought yqu spent your whole time grousing,” he said to her one day, when he nad man: ged to lure her from her sewing for one of the long walks in the leafless woods that they both liked taking. It was No- vember weather, but she laughed, swinging along beside him, in her old brown fall coat. “Well, to begin with, I do it only on my Saturday afternoons off; | and besides, since you've been here life’s so much better. It’s a little lonely, being the only young person in the house all your life. They were all middleaged when | was born. It was a grand day for the Lanning family when you and | met on‘*he courthouse steps with out mutual bad tempers, You're not so lowering yourself, you know, Morgan. In fact, I think, you're a grand person.” She laughed up at him with her sudden brilliance that was tiie aly most blinding. He was on the verge of telling her. he loved her. He put an arm around her, and she leaned against him as if he had been her urcle. No. He'd wait, just a little longer. UDDENLY she stopped and looked at her watch, a lady’s gold watch of the eighties, swung around her neck on a black ribbon, and tucked into her belt as unlike a modern girl’s possessions as |Key W: everything else she owned. “You'll just have time to get to Kay Oliver's. She'll never forgive you or me or anybody if you don’t turn up at her party.” “Tl go if you will.” “It's the same old story, Morgan. I can’t go like this. And I can’t go any other way. But you can, and you must. One of our best-dressed young men, you are!” Her pluck, her smiling bravery and generosity, suddenly came »ver him. “If I go this time will you come with me next?” “I will. But I will not be lured into taking even a bungalow apron from the ten cent store at your fair hands.” She laughed. “Uncle Will actually held out ten dollars from the maw of the memorial fun’. If he’d given it to me yesterday'I could have blossomed out in an elegant gar ment and even new shoes but he forgot till this morning, bless his absent-minded old heart, and the layette for Mrs. Warden had been promised. You go on, and she'll in- vite me some more for your sweet sake, You don’t know what a boon @ young man from the city is?” She began to recite cheerfully: ! “There was a young man from the city a ae what he thought was a He ‘save ita pat And said ‘Nice little cat!’ . “Only you didn’t! You said ‘horrid little cat” “You're not a cat! You're a ee little sport.” {bh “Morgan, this from you! Why, it will keep me proud and puffed up| till I seé you again.” %} She gave him a little shove. “Come with me.” “No, | have something to do.” “Place-cards again?” “A singing lesson to a small child4 I'll have tea for you and Uncle Will’ when you get home.” She shook her head, turning an going. ...

I've got some of the grandest new records you ever saw, and they say you know how to make Dai- quiris just like old man Daiquiri’s eldest son.

In addition, their presence was a safety measure which added greatly to the freedom with which amateur swimmers, particularly, could enjoy this recreation. j Not only is their presence im- portant in case of accident, but also in helping prevent accidents by their careful supervision. It is surely better to retain these guards who have special training in rescue work than to save the small amount they are paid, and run great risk of acci- dent and possible deaths from drowning because of lack of pro- per first aid treatment.
